Onto the actual wrestling. Phew.

WWE adore the warring tag partner gimmick. It's one they've used a ton down throughout the years, and they could do so again at Payback with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. That'd be crap though, and it'd step all over any and all momentum Bayley and Sasha Banks have been building.

The 'Golden Role Models' need to hold onto their Women's Tag-Team Titles. There's no call for some "dramatic" hijinks on Raw between Shayna and Nia. Bayley and Sasha need a booking reprieve following trouble in paradise at SummerSlam and on Monday's TV, and they should get that on Sunday night.

Further, it should be Bayley who scores the win for her team with Banks' help. That'd progress the bubbling discontent from Sasha's side, that she does most of the heavy lifting and Bayley benefits, and it'd also avoid a familiar (and unwanted) 'odd couple' trope.
